Really tasty food, interesting combinations. Enjoyed everything placed in front of us. A constant stream of passing food between myself and wife as we both thought ours was the best.. We were both right. Great attentitive service in a non obtrusive way. More

This has got to be the best food in Portsmouth! The standard of food goes beyond expectation but doesn't leave a huge dent in your pocket! Service is friendly and extremely competent even when very busy! A must! More

Went to one fo the seasonal gourmet evenings when the chef gets the opportunity to go a little off-piste. Wasn't disappointed - the starter of skate wing poached in coconut milk set a high-standard and was polished off far too quickly. Next up was a gallete stuffed with goats cheese and lemon jam. Never been a fan of goats cheese... More

Tend to dine here 3 or 4 times a year, and the food, service and atmosphere are always second to none. Would recommend the new year celebrations. More

We love this Bistro and since being introduced to it 8 years ago there is nowhere we would rather go for an excellent dining experience.

I'm no gourmet but I know what I like. They have gourmet nights here 3 or 4 times a year and we've got in the habit of going to them all. They cost a bit more but 4 interesting courses are a different wine with each course are all specified, so you know what you're getting when you book. You... More
